寿梨庵I was interested in Hakutsuru Nishiki sake and just recently popped in a Kyushu...
I visited an izakaya in Muikamachi for the first time, which I had been curious about for a while.
To my surprise, Hakutsuru-nishiki, which I wanted to try the most, was on the list ❕.
I had it as my first drink after the beer✨.
The aroma is very mild.
The aroma is mature, but when you drink it, the juicy fruitiness (muscat?) that is typical of Jikkomai overflows. The aroma is not as gorgeous as I know it to be, but it is tight and has a low center of gravity.
The elegant sweetness turns bitter in the mid-palate and lingers for a long time.
It has a solid body and is very drinkable 😋.
I don't know if this is a Hakutsuru-Nishiki characteristic, but it was a taste that set it apart from the other Jikin I've had😊.
